Instapundit linked up an innovative approach to Iraqi security:

The women's employer has discovered that armored and heavily-armed convoys may not be best for avoiding insurgent attacks. Instead, they've adopted a tactic of using nondescript vehicles, with women literally riding shotgun:

That impression, the companies find, is enhanced by the presence of a modestly dressed woman in the front seat next to the driver, appearing to be a housewife out for a drive with her husband.

"We are a low-profile security convoy company. We do our best not to be discovered, and part of that is using women," said Mr. Karam, a veteran of the Lebanon civil war. "We never have been hit while they were with us."

But the women are more than decoys, and insurgents foolish enough to try their luck may be in for a surprise...

Hiding in plain site is a well-known and effective tactic for security. Just don't mess with the ladies!
